Welding cart

[SavageSunJeep]

Well stage I is complete and now I am getting ready to add electrical, redo the top and add cable hooks when I sort out my working approach angle.

The angle hold my MM180 and the flat holds my Hypertherm Powermax30. The rear holds 2 C25 bottles.

looks good.
be careful it dose not end up top heavy, the wheels look kinda close together for so tall. looking forward to seeing it all loaded up when its done.

Yes you are right on that and that is the result of 2 things: Shortage of shop space and since I cannot weld in the shop I have to take it outside and I wanted some tires that would not sink into the gravel.

I think I am going to extend the tires to the outside and lower the cart.

Gawd, I love plasma cutters and a welder a guy can do anything and fix his mistakes too....

Cart looks good, I also would put the tires outboard, especially if taking it outside.



What kind of floor is in the shop, looks like diamond plate tile?

LOL, its the reason why I cannot weld inside...its diamond plate plastic. You can see the install and conversion of garage to shop garage here:

I had the same problem, having put down PVC tile in my shop/garage prior to getting the welder. I have purchased 2 sheets of 5x10 ft 11 ga. sheet, to cover a 10x10 ft area, and it has worked out well. Tread plate may have been better, but was more expensive. I actually like the ease of rolling my welding table or cart on it. It only gets a bit slippery if I let too much abrasive dust accumulate on it. Sheets were $140 each, if memory serves. Yeah, not exactly the way I had wanted to spend that money, but, I had no intention of welding outside, for the long run.

I like the layout of your cart, other than previously discussed wheel position.
